the movie was terrific in regards to special effects, action, etc. however, if you are one who wishes it would follow the book, it's bit of a let down... they cut a huge fight scene and some other details were changed as well. However, seeing as how they only have 2 1/2 hours to fit that looooong book in, it was a REALLY good interpretation. and for those that don't read, I think this was easier to follow without reading the book in comparison to movie five. It was great!
